Since its discovery in 1839, research on the synthesis and application of perovskite materials has multiplied largely due to their suitability to be used in the fields of nanotechnology, chemistry and material science. Appropriate changes in composition or addition of other elements or blending with polymers may result in new hybrid and/or composite perovskite materials that will be applied in advanced fields. In this review, we have recapitulated the recent progress on perovskite nanomaterial in solar cell, battery, fuel cell and supercapacitor applications, and the prominence properties of perovskite materials, such as excellent electronic, physical, chemical and optical properties. We discussed in detail the synthesis and results of various perovskite hybrid nanomaterials published elsewhere. We have also discussed the results of various studies on these low dimensional composite nanomaterials in broad sectors such as electronics/optoelectronics, batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells and electrochemical sensors.
A light weight electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and microwave absorbing composite films has been developed by loading varying weight content of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets and polyaniline (PANI) into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix. The prepared PVA/PANI/g-C3N4 (1%, 3%, 5%) composites has been subjected to FTIR, X-Ray powder diffraction, SEM, Thermal studies, Dielectric studies and electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) analysis. The PVA/PANI/g-C3N4 (1%, 3%, 5%) composites was discovered to have improved electrical conductivity, dielectric loss, and dielectric constant. It is observed from the SEM images that the sheet layers of g-C3N4 are wrapped by the polymer matrix and the morphology to PVA/PANI composite in the g-C3N4 indicates homogeneous blending of PVA/PANI without any phase separation and has porous in it. The PANI/g-C3N4 fractured surfaces present are smooth but irregular in appearance indicating good compatibility between the PVA and PANI matrices. The dielectric properties was found to increase on increasing the concentration of the g-C3N4 nanofiller and reached a maximum of 9.8 × 106 at 1 MHz for 3% g-C3N4 in PVA/PANI. The incorporation of g-C3N4 into PVA/PANI enhanced the conductivity and the 5% g-C3N4 loaded composite film exhibited a conductivity value of 0.043 S/cm at 1 MHz. The PVA/PANI/g-C3N4 (1%, 3%, 5%) composites exhibited potential EMI SE values ranging from 24 to 35 dB at 8.6 GHz and from 42 to 63 dB at 12.4 GHz, for instance the PVA/PANI/g-C3N4 5% composite showed highest value of 63 dB at 12.4 GHz. The PVA/PANI/g-C3N4 5% exhibits the maximum highest reflection loss 8 GHz–12 GHz in which the higher absorption of −36 dB is observed at 10.3 GHz of the X-band region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
